How would pressure in the glomerulus be affected by constricting the afferent arteriole?

Pressure in the glumerulus would decrease.
As a result, hydrostatic pressure would also decrease, resulting in a decreased filtration rate.

What the arteriole leads into the glomerulus?
efferent arteriole
The pathway of blood in renal circulation?
Aorta a. Renal a. Segmental a. Interlobar a. Arcate a. Interlobular a. Afferent Arteriole Glomerulus Efferent Arteriole Peritubular capillaries Interlobular v. Arcate v. Interlobar v. Renal v. Inferior Vena Cava
Know relationships and differences between Afferent vs efferent arterioles?
afferent glomerular arteriole a branch of an interlobular artery that goes to a renal glomerulus.efferent glomerular arteriole one arising from a renal glomerulus, breaking up into capillaries to supply renal tubules.Remember because they are arterioles NOT venules they they both carry blood away from the heart.
An obstruction in the afferent arteriole would reduce the flow of blood into the?
efferent arteriole]
Does the efferent arteriole take blood to the nephron?
No. I recieves blood from the afferent arteriole.
What the arteriole leads into the glomerulus?
efferent arteriole
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
Where does the transition from an afferent arteriole to an efferent arteriole occur?
glomerulus. The afferent arteriole leads to a ball of capillaries called a glomerulus which is enclosed in a nephron structure called the glomerular capsule. Blood leaves the glomerulus by way of the efferent arteriole.
What feeds the glomerulus and what drains the glomerulus?
Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and drains through the efferent arteriole.
What arteriole supplies blood to the capillaries of the glomerulus?
afferent arteriole
Which arteriole supplies blood to the capillary of the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole supplies blood to the capillaries in the glomerulus of the kidneys. The efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus.
What vessel directly feeds into the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole feeds directly into the glomerulus.
The vessel that branches to form the glomerulus?
afferent arteriole
In the kidney what structure that delivers blood to the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole.
The blood vessel delivering blood directly to the glomerulus is the?
afferent arteriole
What is the vessel that branches to form theglomerulus?
Afferent Arteriole carries blood into the Glomerulus, the Efferent Arteriole carries blood away.
Is the afferent arteriole entering the glomerulus always thicker than the efferent arteriole leaving the glomerulus?
It always has a widre lumen so that blood is forced to diffuse and filter. This puts a little more stress on the afferent arteriole and so a slight increase in the thickness of the tunica media may be noted.
